Description of problem: "dump -w" and "dump -W" ignores ext4 file systems, even though dump on these file systems work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dump-0.4-0.8.b43.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Presuming /boot is an ext4 file system, the default, and that the dump flag (second to last field) in /etc/fstab is set to 1, also the default. 1. dump -u0 -y -f boot.dump /boot 2. dump -w Actual results: The dump in step 1 succeeds, and /etc/dumpdates is updated correctly. The "dump -w", however, doesn't, and returns: Dump these file systems: Expected results: Dump these file systems: /dev/sda1 ( /boot) Last dump: Tue Aug 2 13:45:51 2011 -0400 Additional info: This is fixed for RHEL 6 in bug #658890, and for F15 in dump-0.4-0.10.b43.fc15.x86_64 Same fix should be applied to F14, as dump/restore is essential.
